For anyone not aware, Cheerios has been getting a lot of flack for one of their newest commercial. The reason people are upset is because the actors in the commercial represent a mixed family. Nothing else, just this. It has lead to people demanding it be removed and a lot of racial slurs being thrown around online.

It's really disappointing when the world is pouring out hate over something like this. The sliver lining for me however, is the video below. These children watched the commercial and gave their own comments. Just goes to show that hate can be thought. Here is hope that the views of these children continue in to the future.
